First technical blog in a bit, and reminded why I don’t like doing technical blogs on my current blogging platform, so if you have a recommendation I’d love to hear it!
Teams and PowerShell - How to add value and make your life easier - clatent.com/2026/03/team...
Jeff found Deck over the weekend and now I have a bunch of fun todos on my list.
So far, fully welcoming it! I absolutely love sharing my toys with others, especially when they provide suggestions on how to make playtime more fun.
Hey Jeff! It means a lot to see you describe Deck as "promising"! I just opened Discussions.
Fair warning, I've never used Discussions board, so if you have suggestions on how to improve the experience, please let me know. 😄
I use @trackd.x64.se 's TextMate module in Deck (deck.jakehildreth.com) to provide syntax highlighting, but it can do so much more!
Me too!
On Mon June 1*, come to @psconf.eu to see @andrewpla.tech discuss PowerShell security features you probably aren't using while I nod along.
Then on Tues June 2*, see him and @steviecoaster.dev talk about using PowerShell Universal to make PowerShell easier for non-admins!
*dates subject to change
It's been a busy last 12 months or so. I finally found a bit of time to polish some of this and publish to main. Next step... migrating it to a C# binary module so assembly conflicts can be resolved.
Cheers @trackd.x64.se , @arpan3t.bsky.social and @gilbertsanchez.com.

I used the same local admin password on all machines, and that password was the same as the RID-500 account. I still use it in labs sometimes because muscle memory.
“Yeah bro LLMs are great at figuring out how to use your CLI tool you just gotta write good --help output”
SO ARE HUMANS. THIS IS KNOWLEDGE FROM THE 60S. I AM GOING INSANE.

I do the same every time I see this bullshit. 💜
BUT! The underlying behavior IS still interesting. "Dangling templates" happen when you delete a cert template without disabling it first, and they can lead to unexpected template enablement.
New blog explains the whole thing: jakehildreth.github.io/blog/2026/01...
Y'all, I submitted something to MSRC thinking I found a new ESC. I was SO hyped. 🤩
Reader, I had not found a new ESC.
Turns out I conflated some PKI role definitions and misunderstood security boundaries. I'm supposedly an "expert" in this stuff. 🤦
DFL Party Statement on Trump and Bondi's Attempt to Extort Our State Voter Rolls "Donald Trump and Pam Bondi are demanding access to Minnesotans’ voter rolls in exchange for relieving us from the federal siege we are under," said DFL Party Chair Richard Carlbom. "Let us be direct: Fuck off."
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
I channeled my anger, frustration, and sadness about the state murders of #reneegood and #alexpretti this weekend and started working on Project Witness. There are so many videos recorded by protestors, legal observers, released bodycam footage. But it's difficult to get them all together.
It's so beautiful. 🤩
Introducing: Stepper.
Stepper is a lightweight PowerShell utility module for easily creating resumable scripts. If you ever have long running, multi-step PoSh scripts that need too much care and feeding to complete successfully, this module is for you.

Dude. The quickness with which you rose to the occasion is amazing.
I started using y'all instead of "you guys" maybe 8 or 10 years ago specifically to avoid gendered language and ended up falling in love with it. Much easier to say!
It's not that tough being a film cricket.

Had a great time in Chicago this weekend for Blue Team Con.
I spent a fair bit of time walking around downtown both day and night. I used only public transportation. Never once felt unsafe or even uncomfortable. Great city regardless of what some say.
Hi #powershell folks,
Just shipped the next version of my EntraAuth.Graph module, a #graph specific extension of my EntraAuth authentication client, adding batch requests in a convenient format:
